TECHNICAL FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to an exercising apparatus andmore particularly the present invention pertains to an exercisingapparatus comprising a handle, a mounting assembly, a clamp assembly andan arm extension assembly wherein arm extension assembly comprises atleast one weight attachment portion such that a user can lift weightattached to the weight attachment portion of the arm extension assemblyby moving the handle.

BACKGROUND

Nowadays, daily exercising has become a necessity in the modern world.Generally, a user can perform various exercises in home-made gyms orcommercial gym facilities. The commercial gym offers a qualityenvironment to perform exercises and it is also a place for socialgathering for many users. Typically, gyms are equipped with variousexercising equipments such as but not limited to dumbbells,weightlifting bars, weight training racks, landmine holders, and gymmachines and so on.

Various exercises such as but not limited to squats, presses, landminerow and so on are performed in the gym using landmine holders. Thelandmine holders generally include a hollow portion in which an end of abarbell is inserted and the user can lift the opposite end of thebarbell using his/her hands. A user can increase or decrease physicaleffort required (resistance) by adding appropriate weights such asweight plates carried on the barbell. Further, the user canalternatively place the barbell end against a corner of a room and thenlift the other end of barbell to perform these exercises. However, theimproper connection of the barbell and the corner could result inaccidents.

Landmine holders involving use of barbells has few drawbacks. Generally,barbell does not include graspable handles at the ends which couldresult in difficulty of gripping the end of barbells during exercisingespecially when the weights are attached to the barbells. A user canlift the barbell using a v shaped handle. However, these handles are notproperly connected to the barbell and the handle can slide relative tothe barbell thereby adding discomfort of the user. Further, barbellsgenerally can carry weight plates only and so, other types of weightedobjects such as but not limited to kettlebells, dumbbells and so oncannot be readily added to the barbell thereby limiting type of weightedobjects that can be attached to the barbell. Further, even if userattaches, the weighted objects cannot be properly attached to thebarbell and thus, the weighted objects can accidentally fall when useris performing exercises thereby posing some safety risks.

Additionally, the landmine holders generally are fixedly connected to agym machine or a similar support structure. Thus, the landmine holderscannot be readily transported from one location to another by merelydetaching it from the support structure. Further, landmine holdergenerally allows limited range of movement of barbell in either onedirection (i.e. Movement along x direction) or two directions (movementalong either x direction and y direction). Thus, a user is unable toperform some specific exercises which require free movement of thebarbell (movement along x axis, y axis and z axis) thereby limiting theuse of landmine holders. Further, a user can not readily performexercises in open areas such as public parks, homes using landmineholders as landmine holders currently available in markets cannot bereadily attached to multiple structures such as trees, doors and so on.

Many attempts to provide solutions to some of the problems discussedhereinabove may be found in the prior art, such as for example: U.S.Pat. No. 8,974,354B1 discloses a landmine apparatuses including amounting base and a receptacle for receiving a weight bar. Thereceptacle is coupled to the mounting base and rotatable about ahorizontal axis and in 360 degrees about a vertical axis. A verticalpivot connects the receptacle to the mounting base such that thereceptacle is retained in a single horizontal plane while rotating aboutthe vertical axis.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,323,236A discloses a body exercising apparatus, in theform of a weight lifting apparatus, which includes an elongate lever armhaving first and second opposite ends. The first end of the lever arm iscapable of being pivotally mounted to a supporting structure, andpreferably a relatively vertically disposed wall. For this purpose, amounting element is provided on the first end of the lever arm forpivotally mounting this lever arm to such relatively permanent structureand preferably such vertically disposed wall. A weight retaining rod isoperatively mounted on the lever arm and is capable of receivingconventional bar-bell type weights in selected amounts. A handle memberis located at the second end of the lever arm for engagement by thehands of a user of the apparatus so this user can attempt to lift thelever arm about the pivotal connection with respect to the supportingstructure against one or more weights placed on the weight retainingrod.

However, U.S. Pat. No. 4,323,236A does not allow rotation of the leverarm along three degrees of freedom. Further, the prior art U.S. Pat. No.4,323,236A involves use of bar bell weights only, thereby limiting theuse of the body exercising apparatus. Further, the U.S. Pat. No.4,323,236A does not include a detachable body exercising apparatus whichcould be transported to another location and stored before being used.

Thus, in the light of the above-mentioned background art, it is evidentthat, there is a need for a relatively simple, versatile, safe, andinexpensive exercising apparatus that would be simple in terms of designand at the same time could overcome above discussed drawbacks. Theexercising apparatus could be removably installed at multiple locationsand can be easily assembled and disassembled and could be stored forlater use.
